Trade secrets or proprietary information submitted by a Bidder/Offeror shall not be subject to public disclosure under the Virginia Freedom of Information Act; however, the Bidder/Offeror must invoke the protections of § 2.2- 4342F of the Code of Virginia, in writing, either before or at the time the data or other material is submitted. The written notice must specifically identify the data or materials to be protected including the section of the bid/proposal in which it is contained and the page numbers and state the reasons why protection is necessary.

The classification of an entire bid/proposal document, line item prices, and/or total bid/proposal prices as proprietary or trade secrets is not acceptable.
